[Bug 56956] Gnome cups manager destroy my config

[Étienne Bersac]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-cups-manager

Hello,

In order to have SANE hpaio backend correctly probe the my networked HP
printer, i have to configure the printer with the DeviceURI set to hp-
makeuri 192.168.X.Y result. e.g. i have an OfficeJet 7140xi networked
device. I set DeviceURI in /etc/cups/printers.conf to
hp:/net/officejet_7100_series?ip=192.168.0.2 . But if i open gnome-cups-
manager, the device URI is set to
ipp://hp:/net/officejet_7100_series%3Fip%3D192.168.0.2 .That end to an
unusable device with sane.

gnome-cups-manager must be able to handle "hp" or "manual" device UI. A
wrapper to hp-makeuri would be nice.

Also, gnome-cups-manager is very very slow.

Étienne.
